A Shorten Labor Government will provide the policy guidance Australia’s agriculture sector needs to meet its full potential, rise to its challenges and create more prosperity and jobs in our regions.

Since coming to office the Abbott-Turnbull Government has failed the agriculture sector and regional communities by giving priority to spin over policy substance.

Australia prospers when our regions prosper. From cattle farms and wineries to wool, wheat and minerals, regional Australia generates a significant part of Australia’s wealth.

In return, regional communities rightly expect the same high quality services and facilities that people in our major cities enjoy.Labor will put productivity and sustainable profitability front-and-centre in our determination to see regional Australia thrive and our agricultural industries grow into the future.
